r  HE  following  General  Orders  are 
a  full  transcript  of  a  Ms.  orderly 
book  which  recently  came  into  my 
possession,  'The  manuscript  belonged  to  the 
regiment  of  General  i  hineas  I.yman,  of 
Connecticut,  one  of  the  commanding  officers  in 
the  campaign  against  the  French,  and  a  man 
whose  merits  and  sterling  qualities  were  not 
recognized  by  his  English  colleagues  and 
superiors.  The  credit  that  was  owing  to 
him  was  given  to  others ;  but  a  study  of  the 
campaign  of  //5^  shows  how  ably  he  per- 
formed his  party  and  how  much  its  success 
depended  upon  his  efforts. 

We  cannot  seek  in  orderly  books  for 
deeds  of  bravery^  or  incidents  of  battle ;  but 
we  do  find  what  is  of  equal  interest — the 
discipline  of  the  camp  and  the  punishment  of

wro»f  ^0i»g-.  The  dry  and  somewhat  color- 
less record  of  the  troops  from  day  to  day 
becomes  of  value  when  the  history  of  a  com- 
pany or  of  an  army  is  to  be  written.  Where 
discipline  is  maintained  and  a  proper  care  for 
the  health  and  morals  of  the  men  is  bestowed^ 
surely  praise  is  due.  In  this  light  the  orders 
hold  a  high  rank  as  authoritative  records^ 
and  for  this  reason  I  have  deemed  them 
worthy  of  publication.
